After the battle had been won, the Minor Minister of Artifact Survey and Nizat 'Kvarosee watched from one of the ''Pious Rampage''{{'}}s observation blisters as Biko was glassed. Survey complemented the fleetmaster for his efficiency, promising to relay as such to the [[Hierarchs]] upon his next visit to [[High Charity]]. However, given the Spartans' recent [[Battle over Etalan|attack]] that crippled their fleet's logistics flotilla at Etalan, Survey suggested that it may be wise to suspend the glassing to preserve carrier gas, now that the planet's air had already been set aflame. 'Kvarosee, however, explained that the firestorm was not as bad as it seemed and that it would take additional time and plasma to fuse the ground beneath.

Survey complemented the fleetmaster for his efficiency, promising to relay as such to the [[Hierarchs]] upon his next visit to [[High Charity]]. However, given the Spartans' recent [[Battle over Etalan|attack]] that crippled their fleet's logistics flotilla at Etalan, Survey suggested that it may be wise to suspend the glassing to preserve carrier gas, now that the planet's air had already been set aflame. 'Kvarosee, however, explained that the firestorm was not as bad as it seemed and that it would take additional time and plasma to fuse the ground beneath. At moment, First Blade Tel 'Szatulai stepped into the observation blister and stated that he believed Survey was worried about a counterattack. Survey berated 'Szatulai once more, asking why 'Kvarosee would even trust the First Blade and stating that he was beginning to doubt that the Spartans even exist, as 'Szatulai had yet been able to provide proof of their existence, much less kill one of them. 'Szatulai retorted that they did indeed exist and that he even had learned the names of the Spartans. This information was gleaned by two [[Jiralhanae]] [[Bloodstars]] using their own unique [[Tossers|interrogation methods]], which Survey stated was "stupid" given their pension for killing valuable prisoners. When Survey continued to insult and threaten 'Szatulai, the fleetmaster stated that they are fighting a war, not playing political games like those to which the minister is accustomed and that we would like to hear the rest of the First Blade's report. Survey said this would not end well for him, but he relented, allowing 'Szatulai to continue. With information gleaned from the human traitors, the three of them surmised that Task Force Yama may in fact know that they have a spy in their midst and are using him to lure the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience into traps. As the fleet was beginning to run low on carrier gas for their plasma weapons, 'Kvarosee had called forward from [[Zhoist]] a new logistics flotilla that was already at Etalan, gathering the vessels that had survived the Spartans' attack. Upon hearing this, 'Szatulai revealed to 'Kvarosee that the humans had recovered a ''[[kelguid]]'' from the bridge of the ''Worthy Silence'' after it was shot down on Seoba. With this in their possession, Task Force Yama could potentially identify the exact locations of the fleet's supply lines and critical support nodes. Survey worried that the humans would use the ''kelguid'' to find and attack [[High Charity]], but 'Szatulai and 'Kvarosee insisted that Zhoist was the much more likely target as it would buy them time. They explained that if the humans even knew about High Charity, going there would mean certain death. With Survey still in disagreement, 'Szatulai and 'Kvarosee agreed that they must go to Zhoist to support its meager rapid-response flotilla in the coming battle.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS21|HSS|Chapter=21}} | ||
